Abstract
Religious-based medicine has become an inseparable part of culture in society. This is due to the strong force of local communities and spirituality. Culture and spirituality have become a guidance in religion, and thus become a strong force to the development of culture and religion. This study uses qualitative method, viewing honey as a part of culture and also a part of existing religious spirituality, which becomes a benchmark in carrying out activities in the world of health and medicine. By combining culture and spirituality, honey-based traditional medicine has been commonly used in medicine and health for a source of modern medicine today.
